Really.
I work at Intel. This article circulated there and was ridiculed
without pity. I can't imagine how anyone can get it so wrong. Read

out until now.
Apple and Intel are merging.
Let's take a revisionist look at the Apple news, asking a few key
questions. The company has on its web site a video of the speech,
